Abstract
This study explored young adult (YA; 18-39 years of age) cancer survivors' perspectives on and experiences with return to work (RTW) following primary cancer treatment. A prospective qualitative longitudinal method was employed, using in-depth telephone interviews at three time points. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Five people (ages 25-40) participated and four themes were identified: YAs face uncertainty about RTW; cancer may be a catalyst for career change; employment benefits are important; and YA-specific resources are needed to support RTW.
